The doctors said that the link between smoking and flu might be even stronger than what they measured, because breathing other people's cigarette smoke may have increased the flu rate among the non-smokers. SOME HAVE argued that smokers are more susceptible to a variety of diseases, including cancer, because of some underlying physical weakness, not cigarettes.. But the doctors wrote, "We consider it highly unlikely that, the association reflects the "constitutional" charac- teristics of smokers rather than the ef- fects of smoking." They said possible differences bet- ween smokers and non-smokers, such as education or ethnic background, coula not expiam e contrast in their flu rates. EVEN THOUGH the smokers had more flu, their bodies did not produce significant levels of antibodies to protect them against later outbreaks. "It seems that not only are smokers at an increased risk of influenza during the first season of activity of a new sub- type," the researchers wrote, "but their susceptibility to attack during the next year is not commensurately reduced." The results back up previous resear- ch in the Israeli military that found female recruits who smoked had a sick rate 44 percent higher than their non- smoking counterparts during an epidemic of an influenza-like illness. IN A separate study in the journal, Boston doctors found that smoking women produce less estrogen. This discovery may explain why smokers go through menopause earlier and seem to be less likely to get breast cancer. The Harvard University researchers discovered that smoking women have one-third less estrogen than psual during one phase of their menstrual cycle. The doctors said this may ex- plain earlier research that found that smoking women go through menopause earlier than non-smokers. Other research has found that women with high estrogen levels are more likely to develop breast cancer. And some scientists believe that smoking women are less likely to get breast can- cer, although this trend has not been proven conclusively. They recommended more study to measure the risk of breast cancer in smokers and non-smokers and to "test the possibility of lowering the risk of breast cancer by lowering estrogen stimulus, if an acceptable way to do so were known."

"I support Reagan's policy. He said he would cut down spending," Cleaver said. "I've been a severe critic of welfare. I want to see black people plug into the economy on a healthy basis, through jobs and ownership." Cleaver fled to Cuba in 1968 to escape being imprisoned for parole violations. He moved to Algeria several months later and has travelled in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, North Vietnam, Korea, Poland, East Germany, and France, he said. He returned and surrendered to the United States government in 1975 and was on parole until 1980. He said his change in perspective came after ex- periencing other cultures. "I WAS shocked at what I was fin- ding," Cleaver said. "I found totalitarian regimes which were repressive to the people and that the people wanted to get rid of the dictator- ships." He concluded that the "democratic system is desirable." He spoke out, however, against the banking system in the United States. "We have an unconstitutional banking system," he said. "It gives the private bankers the authority to spend our money." "(The bankers) drain money out of the Federal treasury and buy up the economy with the money," he said. He acknowledged problems in the American government and offered some idealistic solutions. "I believe we have overcome a lot of racism," he said. "The only way to overcome racism is to reach out to the hearts of the people." Cleaver is three weeks into a two- month tour sponsored by the Collegiate Association for the Research of Prin- ciples, which is a college campus bran- ch of Rev. Sun' Myung Moon's Unification Church. Subscribe to The Michigan Daily 764-0558 YOUR BSN is WORTH AN OFFICER'S COMMISSION IN, THE ARMY Your BSN means you're a professional.

BE ALLYOU CAN BE. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Chicago conservative wins Nobel economics prize University of Chicago Professor George Stigler, whose economic research warns that government regulation can cause unintended side-effects, won the 1982 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science yesterday. Stigler, 71, a professor at Chicago since 1958 and for years a leading can- didate for the prize, is considered a pioneer in the field of market and in- dustrial organization. He is the second American to win a Nobel this year and the 11th American to win the economics prize. STIGLER refers to himself as "quite conservative" in his economic views. but unlike other prominent economists he has never advised a president. He saia ne supports President Reagan's efforts to cut government spending and deregulate the economy but that he could not make substantive comment about it. "I really don't understand Reaganomics very much. It's not an orthodox branch of economics. To the extent that it says 'don't' interfere with produc- tion very much,' it's just common sense. In the sense that it means unleashing the forces of production would fight inflation, I think it was wrong," Stiglersaid. Winter storm stuns Midwest A premature winter storm stunned the Upper Peninsula with up to 10 inch- es of snow yesterday, leaving some roads virtually impassable and forcing schools to close in a region not unaccustomed to harsh weather. Here in lower Michigan, temperatures plunged 20 degrees or more after midnight yesterday and howling winds gusting as high as 50 miles an hour transformed autumn into winter far ahead of schedule. Hardest hit was the Wakefield area in the western U.P., where about 10 in- ches of wet, heavy snow was on the ground by mid-afternoon yesterday and more expected. The snowstorm also swept across the Corn Belt yesterday, bogging down the already-late harvest with foot-deep snow, disrupting travel and snapping tree limbs still heavy with foliage. Lights went out in some areas and travelers were stranded as the Mid- west's first major snowstorm of the season, which hit western Nebraska on Tuesday; pushed across southeastern South Dakota and southern Minnesota into Wisconsin, with winds gusting up to 50 mph. Economic growth rate slows Still well short of recovery, the U.S. economy slowed to a meager 0.8 per- cent annual growth rate in the third quarter, the government reported yesterday. Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige said little improvement is likely before next year. The Commerce Department's report on inflation-adjusted gross national product-a measure of all goods and services produced during the summer- was the last major estimate of U.S. economic health before the Nov. 2 elec- tions. At the White House, presidential press secretary Larry Speakes tried to make the best of the figures. "We're grateful the economy did turn upward in the third quarter and we expect ourgrowth to continue," e said. But the gain was so tiny that Baldrige made no claims of recovery from the recession that has stifled the economy for most of President Reagan's first two years in office. The report, he told reporters at a briefing, 'is another indication that the economy is in an interim period between recession and recovery." Judge orders investigation into 5-year-old's 'bizarre' behavior WEST VIRGINIA-A judge ordered an investigation into the family life of a 5-year old kindergarten pupil whose classroom behavior he described as "bizarre." The principal of the school said the boy struck other pupils and the teacher and threw things in the classroom. The principal filed a juvenile petition charging the boy with being in- corrigible. The principal said an after-school discussion of the boy's behavior wit the child's mother ended in a scuffle during which the woman "knocked the glasses from my face." Cabell County Circuit Judge D.B. Daugherty said he expected the in- vestigation by the prosecutor's office to result in the filing of a petition alleging abuse or neglect of the boy. While the investigation proceeds, Daughtery said, the child must be ac- companied in the classroom by an adult relative if he continues to attend kindergarten. 10,000 mourn Solidarity rioter Marching slowly to Chopin's funeral dirge under banners declaring "Solidarity Lives," thousands of angry and despairing Poles yesterday buried a young unionist killed by police in riots set off by a government ban on the independent union. Hundreds of riot police backed by helmeted paratroopers kept a tight grip on Nowa Huta to prevent new unrest as an estimated 10,000 mourners and at least 21 Roman Catholic priests left the funeral of 20-year-old Bogdan Wlosik. "My son, oh my son," cried Irena Wlosik as she threw herself twice onto her son's coffin. Her husband Jozef and their daughter Malgorzata wept as the coffin was lowered slowly into the ground by friends. Wlosik was killed by a plainclothes policeman during riots Oct. 15, one week after Solidarity was outlawed. He was the 15th Pole killed in demon- strations since authorities declared martial law on Dec. 13 and suspended Solidarity, the first union in the Soviet bloc free of Communist Party control.

A chance to win a scholarship, Chrysler product and more. If you thought The New Chrysler Corporation was something different from other car makers,we're out to prove that you're right. We've developed the "Pentastar Challenge" as a small, but deserving tribute to American ingenuity and intellegence. The Riddle The challenge in the calendar is an intellectual one. Within the story and illustrations, we've woven an intricate pattern of clues in five different areas of academics; Music, Math, Computer Science, Chemistry and Literature. There's nothing physically hidden or buried. All you need to unravel the conundrums is a fairly sharp pencil and a very sharp mind. The Reward If you are the first to have solved any one of the five riddles, you'll be awarded a $5,000 scholarship, a $5,000 cash grant to your school, your choice of a 1983 Turismo or Charger to drive for a year and a gold Pentastar Medallion. There are also 100 second place prizes of silver medallions. The official rules are on the back of the calendar. The Reason We think you'll enjoy the Pentastar Challenge Calendar because it's functional, attractive and entertaining. Maybe you should also know that through special arrangement with your College Store, we're helping to support the operation of this 1983 PEnTASTAR CHAILETGE very important part of yourF campus. Is Chrysler getting out of the car business and into the calendar business? No. But at $4.98 maybe you'll be' impressed with Chrysler enough to someday look at our cars.
